So sorry to hear about your Mother passing. I’ve many fond memories of her. Such a sweet woman. I think about her every time we walk past her former house in the ‘Terrace’. I know you will all miss her very much. Thoughts and prayers go out to you.
WE ARE SO SORRY FOR THE LOSS OF YOUR MOTHER , GRANDMOTHER, GREAT GRANDMOTHER. WE ARE SURE SHE WILL BE MISSED VERY MUCH. YOU ARE ALL IN OUR THOUGHTS AND PRAYERS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL
Remember Dell and Jack coming to visit Mom in the hospital in 1993
Remember Dell and Norma were always together. I might be mistaken but I believe Jackie was born on the day that JFK was inaugurated and so was named for the new First Lady. Remember when Mom was sick in 1993, Dell and Jack came to visit. They cheered Mom up tremendously.
I don’t know how we are related, but we were always at Phyliss’ birthday party. Think Grandma Cook (O’Leary) was related somehow.
Tim (my brother) lives near Detroit and so do Scott.
Please call if you need any phone numbers
